Pizza Dough – The base of the pizza, usually made from flour, water, yeast, salt, and a bit of olive oil. It’s stretched into a round, airy crust that crisps up beautifully when baked.
Tomato Sauce – A smooth, flavorful sauce made from ripe tomatoes, often seasoned with garlic, oregano, basil, and a touch of salt and olive oil. It adds a fresh, slightly tangy balance to the richness of the cheese.
Mozzarella Cheese – The star ingredient. Melted mozzarella gives the pizza its signature stretch and creamy texture. Whole milk or fresh mozzarella varieties melt beautifully and offer rich, milky flavor.
Olive Oil (optional) – A light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before or after baking adds richness and a lovely finishing touch.
Fresh Basil or Oregano (optional) – Sprinkled on top for a pop of color and a fresh herbal note.
Simple yet satisfying, a cheese pizza lets the quality of its ingredients shine in every bite.
